This lecture covers the concepts of buckling in low beams, including slenderness, buckling by thermal expansion, and bistability of beams. It delves into the calculation of total energy in a beam under axial load, exploring stable and unstable situations. The discussion extends to applications in glass machining, medical devices, and horology, showcasing examples of bistable systems and constant energy transmission mechanisms.
